Lessonet","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":67,"legal_name":"Moses Lessonet","slug":"moses-lessonet"},"content":"seven days. We expect publication of the new NG-CDF Act as amended to happen today. Seven days from 13th September is today, 20th September. Once published, the House is aware that there are a further 14 days required after publication for the NG-CDF Act to come into operation. As much as I have told you the figures, for the Act to be properly operationalised, those timelines need to be observed. The first timeline of publication has been disposed of today. I hope the Attorney-General will comply and publish the Act today so that we can start the countdown of the 14 days for the NG-CDF Act as amended to come into operation. That is my statement. I thank you for indulging me and giving me time this afternoon to communicate to Members on matters of the NG-CDF. I beg that any questions from Members be centred on the Kshs25 billion, knowing very well that there was a court ruling which limited disbursement to the NG-CDF to Kshs25 billion. Any comments or questions by Members should be restricted to that Kshs25 billion."}
